INTRODUCTION. 



The brief sketclies of individual character that follow, were, with a few exceptions, written 
automatically by the hand of Dr. John C. Grinneil, of Newport, R. I., in the summer and au- 
tumn of 1869; in the presence of the undersigned. Those with an asterisk, were obtained in 
Feb., 1870, in the same way. During the process of writing, the medium was generally in his 
normal state of mind excepting that a mist was thrown by spirit power over his vision, so that 
he was unable to decipher what was indited, that, as was alleged, the matter might not be af- 
fected by the action of his own mind. The sketches taken exceed fifteen hundred in ail, (a 
portion of which are reserved for a future edition) and with the exception of those otherwise 
designated, purport to have been written under the control and direction of the spirit of the 
late Stephen B. Chase, of Newport, R. I., who was a man of a true and noble nature, and 
that of a Narragansett Indian, whose proper name was Opplahehota, but was called 
"Shanky" by the whitjes, from his speed of foot. A sketch of Chase's earth character and 
spirit condition as seen from the after-life as well as that of the Indian's and medium's, will be 
found under their appropriate lettering, and I think they are all correctly given. 

To obtain the sketches, I was obliged to sit with the medium for the space of from one to 
three hours daily, for some one hundred and twenty days. At snch times as the mind of the 
medium was calm and composed, and not disturbed by outside influences, he would write fiom 
fifteen to thirty at a sitting, and on one occasion he wrote forty-one. On that and some other 
favorable days, the medium wrote rapidlv and pretty correctly without apparent effort. On 
other days, when his mental organism was disturbed from internal or external causes, he wrote 
but very few, and those indistinct, and full of repetition. I have, however, in compiling been 
very careful to retain the substance of these together with the exact words that are used to give 
point to the meaning. The reader will probably perceive that some of the terms used, such 
as "moral" and "cunning," are generally intended to be applied in their most enlarged [sig- 
nification, whilst religion is almost always used to express an outward observance. The char- 
acters given under the Indian influence are copied word for word, exactly as given. When I first 
commenced raking the characters, I wrote down names of individua,ls as they occurred to my mind 
with little or no regard to their order, on blank sheets of paper. Alter leaking some hundreds 
in this way, I found the communications were getting too lengthy for practical use, anct cuni- 
menced writing names as they occurred to me on small slips of paper prepared for the purpose, 
and for convenience wrote the names of the individuals I wished given, one on each side of the 
paper. Perhaps some two or three hundred chai-acters were written under these circumstan- 
ces; and among these I am led to suppose there may have been a lew- important mis- 



takes or transpositions made, though I think as a general thing, the character of the individ- 
uals given are as correct as can be obtained from history or otherwise. Whilst writing under 
these particular heads, I observed that the medium often hesitated, and turned his paper over 
to look at the name on the other side. I finally asked why this was done, and then the control- 
ling influence for the first time told me that the names operated as talismans to draw the 
spirit indicated, and their close juxtaposition caused such a mingling or transposition of 
their influences that be found it hard to separate them, asking me at the same time to write the 
names only on one side of each piece of paper. I did so afterward, and for convenience sake 
would write several in advance and lie them down together; but this mode was also soon ob- 
jected too on like grounds as the other, and I was requested in future not to record any name 
until the moment I handed it to the medium. I did so, and found from that time forward that 
the communications flowed more freely, and as I think, more correctly, than they had done 
as a general thing before. After I had exhausted such names of interest as occurred to me, 
I had recourse to a very terse Biographical dictionary for a supply, and was throughout 
exceedingly careful to say nothing to the medium that might influence the comraunirations, sim- 
ply writing the names as they appear in the following pages, and verbally giving the nation 
of the person asked after when it was within my knowledge. This is all that was required by 
the controlling influence, which requested that nothing more should be added. To this rule I 
adhered throughout, txcepting in the instances of Csesar and Lucretia Borgia. The medium 
had never read a history or biography, except the Bible, in his life, and had probably never 
heard even the name pronounced of one in twenty of the historical persons asked after. I 
subjoin some facts relating to the medium's hfe and occupation furnished by himself, and will 
merely add that 1 know from personal knowledge, that many of the facts he relates as regards 
his former dreadful decrepid state and his 'seemingly miraculous cures of cancers and other 
maladies are literally true, and can be verified if necessary by judicial testimony. 

Dr. John C. Grinnell was born Dec. 15th, 1831, of very poor parentage, in Hampton, Wind- 
ham County, Connecticut. His father died before be was eight years old, when he was placed 
in a cotton factory to work to help maintain the widowed family. At fourteen he went to la- 
bor on a farm, where he worked until his seventeenth year, when he was taken sick with ty- 
phus fever, and was confined for about nine months before he was able to be sent to his mother 
■who was then struggling against poverty in Rhode Island. In a letter to the writer of this, 
dated Feb. 26, 1870, Dr. Grinnell says: 

"The sickness and medicine produced inflammatory rheumatism which rendered me nearly 
helpless. The calomel I took caused dropsy of the blood, a stiffness of the joints, and I was 
growing worse all the time under the medical treatment, until nearly every bone and joint in 
my body was drawn from its location. At the end of about six years treatment under the old 
school practice, the doctors left me with my limbs and feet so swollen that every time I moved 
it seemed as if my limbs would burst, and I was not able to get up at all or move without help. 
]\Iy heels were drawn nearly into my back, and my head and chin drawn down to my chest. 
My left arm became helpless and very sore. My right hand was doubled up so that I could 
not use either of them. I did not have ray clothes on for nearly a year, as my flesh was so sore 
I could not bear their weight. In ihis state I remained until the good angels came and deliv- 
ered me. Before they came I had grown to be a hard, cold atheist, feeling that the God of the 
universe, if there was one, had left me to suffer, and this caused my unbelief But in 1856, 
the power or influence of unseen angels came upon me, at firsc by tipping the stand, and then 



by controlling my hand to wrife. Before that I could not feed myself; but after they had thus 
controlled my hand a few times, I could use it to cut my food and eat with. Not long after a 
spirit purporting to be 'Samuel of old,' came and controlled my hand to write a letter to a lady 
residing in Fall River, by the name of Phebe Shelling, in which he told her that if she would 
come to Newport she could help me. The day after this she came to me. We were entire 
strangers to each other, and 1 had never heard of her only through the spirit communication. 
As soon as she entered the door, 'old Samuel' entranced her and commenced to operate on me, 
saying that he could and would make me wa4k. This was about five o'clock in the afternoon, 
and she worked on me about twenty minutes, and the next morning I got up and dressed my- 
self, which was something I had not done before for seven years. 'Old Samuel' said that if I 
would place myself under his directions, he would, thiouoh her instrumentality, soon haye me 
walking about. I concluded to do so, and went to Fall River where Mrs. Shelling could see me 
every day, and in seventeen weeks she straightened my limbs so that I measured thirteen inches 
in height more than I did when she began, and she made me walk without crutches, which I had 
not done for many years, and I could feravel nearly as well as ever. 

Mrs. Shelling having a family of small children to attend to which she could not neglect, gave 
up her gift of healing. I remained in gooi condition for about four years, when I wa- attacked 
with paralysis which has obliged me to use a cana and crutch ever since. As yet the spirits 
have not been able to restore me, but they prom'se to help me as soon as I get into a condition 
sufficiently harmonious to receive their iafluence fully. While I was under Mrs. Shelliag's influ- 
ence I was made clairvoyant, and could see the different diseases of persons who chanced to 
come into the room and often when they were passing the house in the street, and could tell how 
and where they were affected. But being ignorant of all the laws of physiology, and remedies, 
I did not for some months apply my powers to examine into disease. But finally, the spirit of 
'old Sammel' and others controlled me to examine and find remedies in the vegetable kingdom 
and I practised for years in Fall River without any remuneration except the consolation of my 
being made an instrument to benefit hundreds of people, and I have continued to practice with 
little remuneration up to the present time. I have during the last fourteen years kept an 
account of about thirteen thousand patients I have examined, and have not all down on my 
book, and I do not think there has been to exceed ten out of the whole number who have not 
expressed themselves satisfied with their diagnosis. 

I have had almost every phase of mediumship, but examining and healing seems to be my es- 
pecial gift. You ask me about my education and reading. I do not remember of ever going to 
school three months in my life, and I can say with truth that with the exception of the Bible, I 
never read a biography or history in my life. In fact, my mind cannot confine itself closely to 
any kind of reading. I practised healing seven years before I ever looked into a book, on bot- 
any, or physiology, and I never now think of consulting any medical or other book for' healing 
as my spirit doctors are always in attendance when needed. I have had perhaps as good suc- 
cess in healing as most clairvoyants, but of myself I claim to have very little knowledge or wis- 
dom, but rely entirely upon the.higher influences that control my organism. 

I have operated on eighty-one cases of cancer, and have seventy-nine certificates of euros be- 
ing effected, which I will show any who wish to see them. There are several cases in the vicin- 
ity of Newport that you yourself know about, among thoni Mrs. Hannah Alleu, from whose 
breast I took a cancer as large as a tea-cup; Mr. John R. Peckham,from whose under Up I took 



6 

two about the size of walnuts ; Mr. William Howland, from whose nose I took one about as 
larj;e as a marble; Miss liogers, from whose wrist I took one about the size of a butternut. I 

have never filled but in two instances. One of these oases was that of Mrs. C whom 

you also know. It had five heads, and they were all healed except one which was about as large 
as a nickle cent, when she lefc m ; at Newport to go home. When she came to me at Fall River 
afterwards,* it was not bigger thiu the end of my little finger, and the artery that buist was in 
the centre of this head." 

I am well acquainted with this last nani'id case that Dr. G. sets down a^ a failure. Mrs. 

C called on me, saying that she wanted to raise twenty-five dollars to pay a doctor to cut 

out a cancer on her breast that had already been operated on in that way twice, and had ex- 
hausted all her means. I told her that surgical operations on cancerous tumors could not possi- 
bly afford any other than temporary relief. She said that she was aware of that and knew that 
she must soon die, but thought if she could have«it cut out once more it would enable her to 
work a few weeks or months more for her aged father and mother who lived with her and were 
both past work. I finally recommended her to go and see Dr. Grinnell. She did so and the 
controlling spirit told her that as af{gravated as her case was he thought she might be cured. 
She accordingly took board near Dr. Grinnell's, a few persons contributing to pay all expenses. 
I occaolonally visited the doctor whilst he was operating and saw the cancer several times. It 
was at first the most revolting thing to look at that can be imagined, and, as I remember, 
covered a space as big as a small saucer with several angry looking heads. After a few week's 
treatment these began to disappear, and a new coat ot flesh came over the diseased por- 
tion covered with a thin transparent skin. When I last saw Mrs. C ihe appeared nearly well, 

and insisted upon going home. The influence tried to prevent her doing so, telling her that 
the muscles and blood-vessels were very weak and would not bear being strained. She refused 
however to be advised and went to work, and the consequence was that a blood vessel 
broke as was foreseen. The fact is, the cancer itself was about cured, and no doubt soon would 
have been entirely well had Mrs. C listened to advise. 

I know of several other cancers cured by Dr. G. Mrs. H. Allen, a case something like Mrs. 

C 3, who was, as she told me, cured in about three weeks, after several other doctors had 

failed. Mr, Rowland's case I know pretty well. For many months I had been advising him to 
attend to an angry tumor on his nose, telling him that it would be his death if he let it alone 
much longer. He delayed until it grew very troublesome, and then as he informs me, started 
with a determination to let Dr. G. operate on it. On his way he happened to meet a physician 
and told him the object he had in view. The doctor remarked that if he would come to him 
after he had tot through with the quacks he would cut it out for him. Mr. H. however 
persevered, and in a short time the cancer was successfully removed by Dr. G. This was nearly 
a year ago, and Mr. Howlaud's visage is yet fiec from even a sear. 

I have h'.'ld sceances with scores of mediums, but I think I never knew one who had a greater 
diversity of gifts, or who hved in closer rapport with the spirit world than Dr. Grinnell. 
With him the two worlds seem almost merged together, and hg converses about as readily with 
the denizens of the one as the other, passing into and out of the trance state with astonishing 
fdciliry. Far, similks of his handwriting, when under influence of spirits, are given on a previous 
page ; owing to the distorted state of his hands he has to write with a thumb and one finger only.

Barbaroussa, (Frederic.) A man of strong 
individuality and large perception. He was a 
true man at heart and had many high and noble 
traits of character, but lived for ambition, which 
in a large degree killed his better nature. He 
was a great warrior and every way a powerful 
man. He wears a long loose robe with large 
gold and silver straps on his shoulders and a 
three-cornered hat. He is seated on a dark bay 
horse, and holds a spear in one hand, and a 
broad sword hangs by his side. He has on a 
pair of skin, cavalry boots, and holds a red and 
white flag in his hand, with a death head or 
skeleton face represented upon it. He has a 
large, bold and full face, rather a sallow com- 
plexion, a broad forehead, and is very broad be- 
tween his eyes, and has a long, big nose and 
dark brown hair, mixed with gray. He has not 
made much progress in spirit life. 

Robert Barclay, A profoundly wise, spirit- 
ual man, of deep, powerful intellect, strong 
individuality, large perception, and very large 
intuition. He is shrewd and full of spiritual 
knotvledge and wisdom, and highly benevolent, 
honest, truthful and noble ; and has made great 
progress in spirit life. He wears a plain drees, 
and has a long, broad, full face, a very broad fore- 
head, high cheek bones, a penetratiug eye, a 
short chin, and a sharp, smart mouth. 

Jacob Barker. A far-seeing, calm, and con- 
siderate old man, with strong judgment, large 
reverence, a religious nature, and a very clear 
mind. He is rather dark, spiritually, but is 
nevertheless a truly noble, good, generous spi- 
rited man. He has a good intellect, and is a 
cool calculator, and is in a fair state of spiritual 
progress. 

Baroxius. a cheerful looking man, but 
very cunning and deceitful, and one who would 
seek to please those who were over him, without 
regard to prmciple or the means used. In fact 
he represents himself as having been a very un- 
principled man, who did not believe in any of the 
relioious forms he practiced, though his love of 
power and name led him to deceive the very 
best of the people. He was inclined to rule in 
his pleasant way, but was naturally very bad at 
heart, and would even murder behind the cur- 
tain, if necessary to accomplish his ends. He 
bas a large, round, >ipunning looking face, and 
was highly perceptive, far-seeing and wise. He 
wears a dark pink robe, ornamented with little 
silver bells around the skirts, and a hat that fits 



close around the head, but is large and ful- i 
higher up, with a gold braid around the top of ^ 
it. He stands in a graceful attitude, and has 
great power of speech, but has not made much 
progress in spirit life. 

Bathsheba. An angelic-looking person, 
with powerful perception, strong individuality, 
and a high top head. There is a soft, bright 
circle of silvery light around her head and face, 
and she wears a wreath of beautiful feathers 
made in crown-like shape. She has a long face, 
high cheek bones, a large nose, long hair, and 
her countenance has a very smiling, lovely ex- 
pression. She has on a blue linen robe, a large 
purple mantle and beautiful sandals, worked 
with shells. She has a large scroll in her right 
hand, full of queer looking characters, like the 
following — {SeefacSimilie.) She has made 
great progress in spirit life. 

Jaxe Bawden. a woman ot a sublime na- 
ture, and one of the angels both of time and 
eternity. There are many who love her, and - 
she comes affectionately to mortals that they 
may drink from the pure celestial fountains of '> 
love, that emanate from her present immortal 
home. She is in fact a beautiful angel of light, 
who will illuminate many a dark place on earth, ' 
if permitted to enter. 

Richard Baxter. A highly intellectual ; 
and intelligent man, with a very down-cast lock, 
who was awfully fooled when on earth, and has 
carried his folly into spirit life. He had a won- , 
derful tear of his great parent, but he finds that . 
the true idea of a Saint's rest is not to sing : 
psalms in heaven, but to go to work and re- ; 
deem people out of the nonsense he led them in-i 
to". It is now his mission to get the Saints he 
made out of their false rest, and teach them how 
to work for progress. He has, however, made 
fair headway for progress in spirit life. 

Dr. James Beattie. A very eminent man

BOE 



QtTEEN Bernice. A woman of a very nice, 
elegant form, and a well-developed intellect. 
She has a large forehead, a full, round face, a 
well-forraed nose and a full bosom. She is 
about five feet high, and wears a full blue skirt, 
hanging down to the feet, and a mantle on her 
shoulders, worked with red, white, blue and 
yellow silk, and she has a silver band round her 
head, bordered with gold. She has made great 
progress in spirit life. 

St. Bernard. A truly noble and upright 
man, who lived a pure, true life. He has a 
powerful mind, high spirituality, strong benevo- 
lence, and the deepest sympathy. He was good 
and noble by nature, and would have baen so, if 
he had not been in the church. He may well be 
a holy Saint, for he has progressed in the spirit 
world to celestial life. 

Note. As I wrote down the name ot St. 
Bernard, what purported to be his spiric immedi- 
ately entranced, the medium, whose countenance 
assumed a sublimely benevolent expression, that 
I am sure, no mortal could counterfeit, as he 
affectionately regarded me, and pressed my 
hand in his. 

Beziers. As me's sees him, he he's all 
covered over with fire. Him sparkles like silver 
waters. Hims heart looks like diamonds in big 
quartz rock. Him's shines like big red rubiss. 
Him's spirit he's like the big shiny gold mines. 
Him's he's in the big high spirit, and him's he's 
much good cheery. 

Bias. A very eccentric man, of high intel- 
lect, full perception, and profound wisdom, 
learning and knowledge. He has great intelli- 
gence and reasoning force, and was full of 
method and plan. There is a bright silvery 
star, resting on his head, and he has a most pure 
and celestial spirit nature. 

Count Bismark. A very strong, dignified, 
bold man, with large causality, perception, am- 
bition and determination, a powerful intellect 
and a far-seeing, forcible mind. He has great 
ability, is a clear reasoner, and has a singular 
completeness of nature, but is cold and selfish. 
He has, however, made good progress in spirit. 

Black Hawk. A big chief, but mighty 
much pale face in him. No mighty much red 
man. He big chief; he big strong chief. A 
big chief on war trail. A mighty much know- 
ing Indian, but be no clear red man. He good 
treat him well ; but he big kill no treat him 
well. He has made great progress in spirit 
life. 



The Black Prince. A cunning foxy man, 
of a cold, cruel, blood-thirsty, iron-like nature. 
He had large perception, intuition, and strong 
individuality, and was externally very reli- 
gious, but not moral. He was self-conceited 
and had large self-esteem, and was very hard 
and tyrannical. He has made rather slow pro- 
gress in spirit life. 

Sir William Blackstone. A far-seeing 
man who well represents wisdom, knowledge, 
intelligence and mental power. He has a full 
intellect and a large full forehead, and. he was 
a great critic and a most wonderful scholar. 
He is a deep reasoner and a profound philoso- 
pher, and altogether, was one of the wisest 
law-making men of the world. He has pro- 
gressed to the seventh sphere in spirit life. 

Hugh Blair. A very hard old soldier of 
the cross, who is at present in Elder Knapp's 
boiling hell of conscientiousness. He has a 
powerful intellect, but was very tyrannical in 
his views, and severely hard on all who did not 
believe as he did. He has a powerful brain, 
but a great part of his religion and reverence 
was expended in putting his neighbor into 
hell, from the pains of which, only himself and 
followers were to escape. He has not made 
much progress iu spirit life. 

Bishop Blanchett. As we see it on the ; 
roll the last syllable is spelled "cheutt." He j, 
is a very tyrannical, powerful and influential 
man, of great intelligence and intellectual 
strength and a lion-like will. He is not a man 
who will take a high sphere in the spirit world , 
and it will be a' long tiuie before one in his con- 
dition can rise much in ihe progressive scale. 

Boadicea, (Queen of Britain). A woman 
of deep intellect and good perception and 
intuition. She had some noble t'-aits of char- 
acter and did a great deal of go-^d for her peo- 
ple, but was of a hard, revengeful nature, and 
like most of her day, tyrannical and fond of 
wielding power. She was quite wise and very 
quick to see causes and effects, and has made 
good progress in the spirit world. 

Boerhave. Me no say qiion (welcome to

more than this Indian. He be mighty big 
thinker. He be big rivers in him's heart. He 
make mighty much big rivers flow in other

tion and soul-feeling, and has reached the 
seventh sphere. 

Abraham Lincoln. A good, honest- 
hearted man, though a little corrupted by am- 
bitious promptings in his last days. His wis-

of his knowledge and abihty. 

LiNN^us. A man of a high, thoroughly de- 
veloped, far-seeing mind, with large pejception,

spirit life.

son of a sanguine and religious nature, who in

little idea of the future, but has made good 
progress in spirit.

wisdom and strong, fulh'-developed mind. He

John Livingston, D. D. A real bigotted 
old man, full of superstition and prejudice. He 
is very religious and tenacious for the interests 
and control of the church. He was set and de- 
termined when on earth, and had great self- 
esteem and ambition, and still has a queer idea 
that he is appointed to look after the lambs of 
Christ, of which he says he can find only now 
and then one. He has not made much head- 
way in the spirit world.

nose, and a long b^ard, and he wears a dark- 
red wrapper, trimmed with silver cord and 
small tassels, and a large, steep hat rising in 
four peaks, with a silver tassel attached to each. 
He has made slow progress in spirit life.

brave. He be's an old chief, and him's have 
much say's over the superstish 'of the pale faces. 
He have got three faces. One look very dark, 
most black ; and one look the shape of the fox 
and he be much cunning on trail of braves. • 
He have another face which have a squaw look , 
and he says it be's the squaw who have the 
pappoose (child) Christ, and her face be white 
and silvery. But her no care much for this

and stand some of the time with his hand on

Pope Pius 5th. A real dead-head in the 
spirit world. He has large perception and se- 
cretiveness, and was selfish, cruel and religious, 
and in fact had but little good in him of any 
kind. Since coming here, he has been mostly 
employed in taking wafers off the tongues of 
souls, and showing them a better way to pro- 
gress than that he taught them in earth liffe. 
He will not show me all, and would persuade 
me he is in a high sphere, but I know from 
his dark looks that he has not made much pro- 
gress.

soul. He is now here, and has brought with 
him the words of the law of progress. He was 
truly a great, and wise spirit when on earth, 
and he has gained some in spiritual life, and 
is now in the celestial sphere.

Tecumseh. The character of the Indian

boundaries to the emanations of spirit. I want 
you to recognize me more in thought. Tiy to 
feel that I am ever thine own loved guest in 
thoughts that come spaikling within thy soul'. 
I am waitinjr to meet thee in thine own com- 
munion, — waiting where thy spirit may catch 
the cadence of my soul, — waiting for the time 
when thy thoughts will flow next to mine with- 
out an intermediate wave,— waiting for thy 
spirit to enter gently into my own. The finest 
emotions of the spirit have no utterances. The 
sweetest interchange of thoughts are the si- 
lent idflowing from soul to soul. Dost not thou 
feel how near I am at this moment to thee? 
Our spirits now embrace. Were it not lor the 
atmosphere of bliss that surrounds you, I could 
not come in such near and dear rapport. Thy 
spirit opens its welcoming arras, and I swiftly 
fly to thy fond embrace. But, Oh, how little 
can I now give thee of my spiiit life! the bless- 
ed fulness is yet to come. Then, Oh then, we 
will have such rosy hours, we will have such 
dewy thoughts! They will fall like pearls 
uniting our spirits. We will wander amid such 
azure bliss, we will garland our souls with such 
love blossoms, that we cannot meet but in 
sweetness and beauty. Together we will trav- 
el over the fields of thought in dual joy; we 
will wind our course along through forests of 
beauty, sparkling with streams of bliss. Our 
joys shall all be twin-born beauties ! Thy hap- 
piness! will rest on mine, and mine will be thy 
soul's bright duplicate. Can you fail e'en now 
to feel my love? Dost not thou see how deep 
it lies, hovv broad the stream it flows to thee? 
O! let its waters bear thee to our home! 
Come, come, God bids me send this gentle 
stream to bear thy soul to heaven. He creat- 
ed me for thee, a fountain bright and clear, and 
thus thy spirit tastes his love and goodness. 

"Fear not, doubt not, dear one. I am not 
a thing of fancy made — a fabricated angel love, 
but a true existing principle, a tangible being, 
a iivino; soul in unison with thine, waff in »• 
heavenly breezes to thy life, to bear me back 
thy joys, thy woes, that I may share them all, 
and cradle thy spirit in the motion of my 
love, where I can lull it to a sweet repose. 

(Prayer), Oh thou guardian of all created 
love, who hast allied my spirit to this dear 
wave of life, guard thou my soul's emotions, 
and from thy great throbbing heart of all life, 
flow out thy spirit, and enable us, thy children, 
to bear the current of life which thou hast giv- 
I en u?, brightly through this mighty system of 
existence, and, as it passes through our souls, 



return it back to thee untainted. Oh, keep 
thou me a healthy, moving wave, to bear thy 
softening love down to creation's woes, to waft 
to the shadows of earth, the dew-drop^ of thy 
light, to tint the midnight with a beam of day, 
and in my acts to sing to thee, thou central 
soul of all creation's love and wisdom, some 
grateful lay of melody and praise.

Sept. 15th, 1869.— My theme to-day is 
Love, the reigning queen of all that's best in 
human nature — the crown imperial of the soul, 
and the highest attributes of Deity. 

" 'Tis all unfolded to celestial light— 

'Tis always blooming to the child of right." 

Love, in its truthfalnes, is the spiritual es- 
sence of purity, gathered through the experi- 
ences of earth, and the attribute in which celes- 
tial spirits gather and repose. It is a plant so 
beautiful, so subhme, that in its growth it 
reaches out beyond the selfish walls of clay 
and shines in its sweetness upon every neigh- 
boring soul. It mounts the highest framework 
of man's device. Ye cannot stay its progress, 
for Divinity hath planted it, and spirits and 
seraphs prune its beautious growth. Long may 
its beauty fill our souls. Forever may its per- 
/"ection and sweetness abide. It is a plant des- 
tined for eternity. There is not a human sou 1 
without it. There is not a place where it does 
not dwell. It grows in the conservatories of the 
celestials; it shines over the bowers of seraphs, 
and is planted by the den of the demon. Trav- 
erse creation and we find Love everywhere a 
native plant. It encircles and fills all worlds; 
it winds in spiral beauty about the centre and 
eircumference of all firmaments and systems. 
It is the life flower of the universe. It sends 
out its elements of divinity to the poor ar.drich 
alike, and in its glorious beauty it will yet 
merge-all finite sufl'ering in eternal bliss. 'Tis 
my soul's attribute; 'tis thy soul's attribute; 'tis 
creation's sweetest blossom. Let us take this 
attribute at meeting; let us take it at parting, 
and let us wear it forever. 

Dear one, I come again to-day to cheer up 
thy soul, and bring to thee the sweet aff'tctiou 
of life. My work of love often calls me to visit 
the gay assembly, and mingle with the busy 
throng, but its dearest mission is to go to the 
unfrequented hovels of the poor, there to trans- 
plant consoling and higher truths. Yes, 
when you come to our spiritual home, we 
will go together and soothe the sorrowing; we 
will carry them spiritual balm; we will bathe

there are arcbes radiant with blooming roses, 
t^ere is deep toned music chiming, there are 
Stars of diamond beauty flashing, there are 
harps of coral gems, there are fountains danc- 
ing, there are bright flowers blooming, there 
are birds of paradisiacal plumage, there are rain- 
bow tints of glory bursting everywhere in the 
future of every soul's existence. Sorrow is but 
the shadow ot the wing of happiness; sunshine 
and shadow live together. Let every one in 
the earth life repose and rest in the thought 
that peace and harmony flow through creation, 
aftd every spirit must find its legitimate part of 
bliss A. p. H. 

The following is a fair specimen of several 
communications, that were written by Dr. 
John C. Grinnell, purporting to come from 
Mary, sister of the above. 

Oct. 2nd, 1869. Dear father, — Anna has 
come to-day to help me bring to your soul the 
sweet lilies of life, the unfolding of my soul's 
progress. Ever may my words flow into thy 
soul dear father with celestial softness and glad- 
den thy heart with eternity's love. Fast are 
the currents of joy flowing into thy soul and 
rapidly is the stream of time bearing thee on to 
spiritual bliss. Unnumbered are the garlands 
that are weaving for thee, and as often as thy 
spirit changes a new one descends upon thy 
brow. I feel to-day buoyant with love and 
happiness. My soul seems bursting with afiec- 
tion, and would bear a wave of joy to all the 
dear ones of earth. I would that my earth 
relatives could wear such garlands as encircle 
my head. I would that the rays of the love I 
feel for all might shine in every heart ! And 
how shall 1 bear my best afiections to them ? 
How shall I waft to their spirits a knowledge 
of the loving arms that are waiting to clasp 
fond hearts in their embrace. With outstretch- 
ed arms 1 welcome them all, and we will send 
angels with sheltering wings to keep them in the 
path of love. Dear father I hope your earth 
life will be long enough to leave many grand 
thoughts, long enough I trust to turn many a 
benighted mind from darkness to light, long 
enough to leave many once barren spirits en- 
grafted with love, so that when thy spirit 
comes home there will be towering monuments 
of affection erected to thee in many souls and 
hearts in earth life. O, there are so many 
things that thy soul demands, that you may be 
joyous and happy here and on earth. Dear fa- 



ther how multiplied are the avenues through 
which we reach the soul. The full depth of 
thy soul's love and affection is for the use of all 
thy angel friends,- and we all stand upon it even, 
whilst the gate of benevolence is ever open for 
thy entrance. I -^ome and fill your soul with 
love ! Let that suffice for thee and me and give 
to those who need thine own. If I bring thee 
joy enough for us to feed upon, let it suffice and 
give the joy to the mourners of earth. If thy 
own spirit has a moonbeam of light and I come 
adding many rays, give thy beams to darkness, 
and I will come again bearing more to you; but 
part thou with thy ray before I come so that 
thy soul give not from a superfluity but of a 
scantiness, for the deed that is registered high- 
est in heaven is that where he that hath but 
one rose blooming in his garden plucks it from 
the stem and gives it to his brother who has 
none. Is not the virtue of such a on* higher 
than that of another who parts with only one 
rose out of an abundance. Is it sacrifice to 
bestow from out an overflow of bliss? No 
rather should we part with the last beam of 
hope to light our brother home, than to tarry 
for the moment when myriad rays illumine out 
own pathway. The soul that drinks only from 
the fountain of self, finds but insipid waters. 
The drops must flow from heart to heart to 
keep the waters pure and bright. As silent 
waters are dark and turbid, so are souls that 
live only for self. But like the gushing, bound- 
ing, rippling brook are souls that send theip 
streams of love coursing through their neigh- 
bor's hearts. Even the smallest rill is made 
purer by its ceaseless flow. Dear father let 
our spirits join, and rove away with me in some 
elysian land of bliss where we may gather 
bright, brilliant flowers in presence of which 
the glorious light of day would fade. We have 
long been wandering amid the buds, let us now 
take the full-blown flower bursting with its own 
beauty and fragrance. We have wander- 
ed long by little rills, now let us roam the 
mighty ocean of love where thoughts go mov- 
ing on to shores immortal. Let us grasp the 
bright conception and plume our spirits to the 
bright odeals and away, away. 

And sip from the nectar 
Of angels bright streams, 

And fold our freed pinions 
In heavenly dreams. 

Strike the lyre, let angels' fingers, 
Tune thy soul for heavenly choirs, 

Lovingly the soft touch lingers,

THE EMPIRE MUTUAL 




PEERLESS SOAP 

Still Ahead! 



LIFE INSURANCE COMPAJJY. 

G. HILTON SCRIBNER, President. 
SIDNEY W. CEOFUT, Secretary. 

HEADLEY & CLARY, Managers. 

N. E. BEAU OH— 32 Washington St., Boston 

The success of the Empire has been unequalled in 
this or any other country. 

It is trne; and because the features of the 
£mpire are liberal aud yet strong. 

All policies are non-forfeitable. 
All policies are incontestable for any cause excepting 

All restrictions on Travel and Residence removed, 
and no permits required, experience and statistics 
proving them to be unnecessary, while they are vex- 
atious and expensive to the insured ; and no extra 
charge for Women, or any class of ordinary 
risks. 

JNo accumulation of interest, increasing annual 
premiums. 

Dividends on the Progressive Plan, and also upon 
the Guarantee interest plan. These are declared an- 
nually. 

The Empire stands alone in the simple justice of 
incontestable policies in case of suicide, death for 
crime, or by accidental cause of any kind. 

It has also adopted Massachusetts law in fuU. 

The Empire is under the control of men of the 
highest eharacter, and ofiers special attractions to 
clergymen who desire personal insurance, or to act 
as agents wholly or in connection with their oflacial 
work. N, Brougliton, Jr. late Depositary of the 
American Tract Society, Boston, is Special Agent 
for the city and vicinity ; and Miss S. B. Packard, 
formerly principal of Oread Institute, Worcester, 
Mass., is Superintendent of Ladies' Agencies. In- 
surances can be effected by correspondence. 

WHAT SAYS THE PRESS! 

"The Empire has had a remarkable success. It 
presents strong features, and it is believed has no 
rival in its claims to public coniidence."— Boston 
Journal. 

"This company is a great success; the result of 
able, economical, and reliable management. The 
Empire has no superior in the country."— jBo^ton, 
JPost. 

"An excellent Company."— .^iow's Herald. 

A very successful i:)ompanj.—Congregationalist. 

"It is with peculiar pleasure that we speak of this 
new candidate for public favor. We knew many 
years since the President of the Company. We knew 
him to be a man of energy, of character, of superior 
business ability, and above all else a successful man 
m whatever he undertakes. The truth is, the Com- 
pany has adopted the best improvements of the day 
in its organization." 

To show the working of the guarantee interest plan 
take an example, "t^'or instance, a man is thirty-six 
years old, ami insures for ^1000. His premium is |41 
a year for fifteen years, amounting in all to $615 ; 
addmg compound interest brings it up to #1000, the 
faceof the Policy. Then he ceases to pay, and the 
Company begin to pay him in return a cash dividend 
of $60 to $70 per year. The benefit of this will -be 
apparent at a glance."— A^. E. Ins. Gazette. 

WT Call or send for Circulars, and papers. Agents 
of character wanted in New England. 



The constantly increasing demand and growing 
popularity of the Peerless Soap amply testifies to 
its appreciation by the public. 

The proprietor, though no egotist, takes pleasure 
in acknowledging that he is highly flattered with the 
success of his endeavors to educate the American 
public to the use of the higher grades of soap as em- 
bracing economy in time, labor and money. 

In consideration of the fact that the PEERiiESS 
Soap is manufactured by strictly scientific princi- 
ples, and of the very best materials, so combined a 
to render it highly detersive, without resulting in 
the slightest injury to the most delicate fabric or 
hand, the proprietor has no hesitancy in asserting it 
to be fa#ahead of any other brand in the market for 
all purposes of a Family Soap. 

Manufactured by CURTIS DAVIS, and for sale 
by all grocers, and warranted to give periect satis- 
faction or money refunded. 

Highest premium awarded to CURTIS DAVIS 
for Domestic Bar Soaps exhibited at the late fair of 
he Mechanics' Charitable Association held in Bos-

generation, and every facility offered to help 
in the proper education of the children of to- 
day, should be hailed with joy. 

"It is, we believe, generally acknowledged,' 
that no country has attained so high a degree 
of perfection in school furniture, as the United 
States. And this may in truth be said, not 
only so far as beauty is concerned, but in the 
comfort, convenience and pleasure of the 
teachers and pupils as well. Its influence, 
however, is not confined to mere physical 
comfort, but it inspires too, a high degree of 
literary and moral improvement. Everything 
in this world acts as a teacher, to keep in ig- 
norance or educate the human mind. Hence, 
the double advantage of a well-furnished 
school-room. The American people, but es- 
pecially New England, have taken the lead 
in this important branch. And among those 
who have been the most successful in manu- 
facturing school furniture, we may name 
Joseph L. Ross, favorably known all over the 
country. We are pleased to learn that Mr. 
Ross has enlarged his field, and will hereafter 
give attention to furnishing the vestries and 
Sabbath-school rooms connected with our 
churches. In view of this fact, we take this 
opportunity earnestly to recommend Mr. Ross 
to all our churches who want supplies of this 
kind. They will be sure to get a good article, 
and all who deal with him will find him an 
honorable man to trade with.
